Xie Xianyu said calmly, "I will forgive what Mother did in the past, and you don't have to worry about what I will do in the future."
The eldest lady stood up with a thud, her face livid. "You brought her to the capital?! I think you're crazy! If your father knew you did such a shameless thing..."
"I have my own arrangements, don't worry, mother."
Xie Xianyu cupped his hands, his voice quiet and composed, hinting at restrained impatience. "I still have to report back to the palace. I'll be leaving first."
He turned around and strode away.
The eldest lady angrily picked up the teacup beside her and smashed it to the ground: "This rebellious son!"
Zhu Qing quickly stepped forward to calm her down: "Madam, please stop getting angry with the eldest master. He looks like he is determined to have that girl. She is just a woman. Why hurt the relationship between mother and son for her?"
The eldest lady's chest heaved with anger: "Do you think I care how many women he has? He has done such outrageous things just for this girl. Who knows what will happen in the future!"
Zhu Qing said awkwardly, "The eldest young master has had his own ideas since he was young. He won't do anything too extreme. I guess he's just been holding onto the idea for a while. Madam, it's better for you to let him go. He might get bored after a while."
The eldest lady said with a gloomy face: "I hope so."

Half a month passed in a flash. Xie Xianyu was busy with the affairs of the court, leaving home early and returning late every day. The Xie family was also peaceful. The eldest lady was relieved. It seemed that she had been worrying too much.
But Xie Xianyu was worried: "What's going on with Qing'an? It's been a month and she still hasn't arrived in the capital?"
Fu Xian said, "Qing'an just sent a letter by carrier pigeon, saying he's almost there, and has already arrived in Jinzhong."
"She said she was in Jinzhong three days ago, and she's still in Jinzhong now. Is she planning to live there?!" Xie Xianyu's face turned grim.
Fu Xian's voice became much quieter. "It was said that Miss Xu wanted to visit various herbal medicine shops along the way to check out the market conditions, so she was traveling a little slower."
Xie Xianyu sneered, "I'm already thinking about finding out the market along the way. I wish I could fly to Qingzhou right away while I'm running."
Fu Xian: “…”
When will Qing'an come? He wants to go out on a mission.
Ten days later, Wanruo finally arrived in Beijing.
Her carriage was in front, followed by three other carriages full of goods, all of which were various medicinal herbs she had purchased along the way.
"Miss, this trip is really a relief. We can buy herbs along the way and save a lot of money."
Wanruo sat in the car and kept accounts: "Of course I have to buy when I pass by. We don't know which source of goods is the most affordable in Beijing. It is more economical to buy directly from the place of origin. It also saves time. After arriving in Beijing, we can choose a storefront and install it, and then we can open the store directly."
Wanruo said it lightly, but Suyue was a little worried. She lowered her voice and asked softly, "Miss, can our shop really last long?"
Wanruo smiled and said, "Yes."
"Sister, we are almost there!" Xu Shujin shouted outside the car. He was accompanying Qing'an to drive the car outside.
Upon hearing this, Wanruo lifted the car window curtain, looked out, and saw the towering city gate with the word "Yanjing" hanging high.
At the city gate, a tall figure stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a dark blue robe with dark patterns, and his calm eyes revealed a hint of impatience.
"Young Master!" Qing'an immediately drove the carriage over and jumped out to salute.
He looked at Wanruo: "Why don't you wait until next year?"
Wanruo pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words: "I came here right after buying the goods."
He could hear her perfunctory response, and his face darkened. "Did I ever say I'd arrive in the capital within a month?"
"I didn't ask you to wait."
His eyes froze, and his breath got stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
She is really lawless now!
He could hardly control his urge to punish her.
